We don't want to burn out -- especially if we consider doing another boom swap after this one. I mailed my fabric this am as well. Postage seemed to depend not only on weight, but also on whether the postlady could slide the envelope through a slot on some cardboard form. So I guess we need to squeeze as much air as possible out of the envelopes to keep the prices down.

Lol, mine were $1.59 each, the post office worker was pretty witchy and gave me a laundry list of reasons why it couldnt be cheeper, and why it had to be "first class." Some bs reason about it being "merchandise." I should of argued, but I was so taken aback by her rudeness I just stood there. Oh well.

Curious question: is anyone considering doing the same block for everyone/for half the list? Or are you all planning to do 35 different blocks? I am considering of picking out a few and repeating, but I don't know yet what I will do.
I have a block that I have picked out that I can see working with alot of different fabrics.....I am a fairly new quilter so want to make sure that I picking a block that I am confident making!! That being said I'll make the final decision once I see the fabric!

I am also trying to do them in the order I receive them. But, I will try to get the ones going to Canada turned around faster.
So far, I am letting the fabric inspire me. I am on my third F8 and my third different block. I am also trying to step outside of my comfort zone and try some new things - without the commitment an entire quilt would be.

I received a bunch of F8's today and I have some questions.
Barb S do you have any ideas on colors/ a look you are going for???
Cindy-Can we add our own purple, blue, green or orange?? Or do you want us to just use the two pieces you sent?
Anita-Do you want colors added to your black and white or do you want black & white only???
Off to plan for the rest of them..
